Reviewers largely see Google Sheets as a practical, collaborative spreadsheet tool: real-time editing, easy sharing, strong core functions, and smooth use with other Google Workspace apps make it a good fit for teams, small businesses, and everyday data work. Some also use it for more technical workflows, like acting as a BigQuery client or handling human-in-the-loop annotation. The main caveat is depth: one reviewer says it works well for simple needs but falls short for complex work compared with Excel, especially around advanced features like VBA.

Great for medium size data and easily connects to other plug-in such as Coefficient and Looker, for large data set Excel is still the go to.
@camilo_uribe_mba the new experimental canvas feature integration with sheets is pretty useful but i can't seem to find literally anybody talking about it's capabilities/limitations. have you tried it with a medium sized dataset?
Switched from Excel to Google Sheets recently and my muscle memory is crying. 😤 The shortcuts are so different and it feels so clunky. Anyone else feel the frustration? How do you all deal with this?
